Brownsville - Day 4

We had yet another enterpreneurial Latino knock at our door this morning, offering his RV wash & wax service; our filthy little CRV draws them for miles.  In partial response, Nancy cleaned the Brave’s windshield and lower front.   
Our task today was to find a pair of folding chairs; our faithful, once blue folders had seen better days.  Checked out Walmart online.  Wow! Plenty to choose from.  Off we went to the local Los Fresnos Walmart.  Hmm, it was more like a Mexican Aurora Bodega, not much of anything there.  OK, off we go 20 minutes down the road to a larger Walmart.  Bagged folders only.  It seems even Walmart is quickly moving to an online world, after all, you can order it into the store in a jiffy.  Off to a huge sports store, surely they’ll have a wide selection.  Uh, nope.  The few they did have were shoddily built, and flexed noticeably when you sat down.  We left disappointed.  A morning wasted in the city (we started late), quest unfulfilled.  
Ah well, a snooze, a beverage, and a swim in the pool under the palms averaged things out.

Hey hope you are enjoying the sun and the fun. You left Manitoba exactly 10 days ahead of the snow. Good timing! We have about 2.5 on the ground and cold weather predicted for the next week, so I think it is here to stay :-(

I try to avoid driving El Valiente in the snow....
